I.W.B.A.L

The Season When Cherry Blossoms Bloom: 85. It's clearly a gathering of three people, why am I the only one without a name?

　　On the one hand, Kento's eyes were fixed on Eriri in front of him, and at the same time, he was trying to filter the words he had just heard over and over again in his mind.

　　"...Kekkan means 'bloodstains', right? Bloodstains with me? No no no, obviously not that, so...marriage? Why? With whom? What's the reason?"

　　Kento, who didn't want to admit the reality, stared blankly at the girl in front of him. His hand, which was about to touch Eriri, quickly retracted as if he had been electrocuted. He even took two steps back to keep a distance from the blonde girl in front of him.

　　The blonde girl bit her lips with her fangs bared as she stared at Kento in front of her. After seeing Kento retreat, the expression on her face became gloomy, but her eyes were still fixed on the boy in front of her.

　　"...Um, did I hear something wrong? Eriri-san, are you talking about...bloodstains?"

　　Kento, who didn't want to admit the reality, looked at the girl in front of him, smiled awkwardly, and tried to brush it off. However, the girl in front of him had been suffering for a long time, so how could she let Kento brush it off so easily?

　　"Marry! Yes, marry! Marry me!"

　　"...Okay, marriage. I guess I heard it right, marriage... But Eriri-san, I won't go into the other emotional details. We've only known each other for a week. Even if you want to get married, you... and I—"

　　After gently pointing his finger at Eriri in front of him, he turned his finger and pointed it at himself. Kento chuckled and said something that Eriri had never expected.

　　"You're not old enough to get married yet?"

　　The time has not come yet, and the cabinet later passed the amendment to the Civil Code, raising the marriage age for boys from 16 for girls to 16, the same as boys. The marriageable age for girls is still 16, but Eriri in front of him, even so, is not yet of marriageable age.

　　"I remember Eriri-san, you're only 15 now, right? I'm only 16, too. Unfortunately, the marriage you mentioned is not legally possible."

　　He didn't expect that the answer he gave to Setsuna would come in handy again at this time. Kento almost broke out in a cold sweat at Eriri's words. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the girl in front of him seemed to have nothing to say.

　　Eriri in front of her bit her lips tightly and looked at Kento in front of her. She did not expect Kento to answer like this. She was immersed in the feelings that she still couldn't figure out whether they belonged to her, and she forgot her current age and identity.

　　In a moment of impulse, I did something impulsive.

　　But now that things had come to this, the arrow had been put on the string and had to be shot. She had no way to retreat. She stared at the young man in front of her with heavy eyes and took a deep breath.

　　"Do you really not remember anything? Have we really only known each other for a week?"

　　"...Ha, didn't we just meet at the beginning of the school year?"

　　The smile on Kento's face became stiff. The signs of things that he had already vaguely sensed in his mind became even more obvious after Eriri's words.

　　The girl, who was leaning against the door, gradually stood up straight and walked slowly towards Kento with her head lowered.

　　Looking at the approaching girl, Kento gradually backed away, backed away... His heel was suddenly tripped without him noticing, and his body fell backwards onto the sponge mat. Looking at Eriri who was approaching him, he supported himself on the sponge mat with both hands and continued to retreat, but Eriri suddenly stopped, causing Kento, who was retreating, to stop as well.

　　Eriri bit her lips, clenched her hands, and looked down at Kento who was sitting on the sponge mat with contempt, making Kento feel like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

　　Snap——

　　The girl suddenly leaned forward and fell on Kento, pressing his whole body onto the sponge mat. With that sudden pounce, Kento was completely pressed under Eriri, and the girl's body was tightly pressed against his. Her golden twin ponytails hung down beside his face, and the familiar fragrance and hair scent lingered.

　　His thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the past long ago. Looking at the face in front of him that looked similar to Sayuri, Kento fell into silence.

　　"When did it happen?"

　　Kento, who was pressed under him, looked at Eriri, who was looking down at him like a lamb to be slaughtered, with her eyes flashing with hunger and excitement like a wild beast. Kento gave up resisting, lay quietly on the sponge mat, and asked slowly and softly.

　　Looking down at Kento, Yinglili gradually placed her hands on Kento's wrists, holding him tightly to prevent anything unexpected from happening at the critical moment.

　　"When school starts."

　　"The time you fainted?"

　　"Have you guessed it? I originally thought it was an illusion and that I was overthinking it. But after constantly verifying it around me during this period of time, I was sure that it was not just an illusion, but a memory from the future."

　　Thinking of those extremely terrible futures and scenes for her, they reappeared in her mind. It was like a nightmare scene that she could never let go of, so she decided to take the initiative.

　　As long as she was with Kento and married him, everything would no longer be like the nightmare of the 'End of Blood' as she remembered.

　　"So, I want to change the future - the future is now in my hands…"

　　Dongdong——

　　There was a knock on the door, causing Eriri to choke on her words. Kento, who was lying on the sponge mat, glanced in the direction of the door.

　　"Is anyone in there? Is anyone in there?"

　　A familiar voice sounded outside the door. Both Eriri and Kento were familiar with the owner of the voice.

　　After leaving the gymnasium, Nakano Ichika went back to the classroom. However, on the way back with her sister, Nino's words made Nakano Ichika concerned.

　　"Sawamura-san and Miyamizu-kun are both staying in the gym to clean up. Will they both be locked in the same room?"

　　"How could that be? Reality is not a TV show. How could something like that happen?"

　　May obviously didn't believe that such a thing would happen in real life, but Ichika was a little skeptical. After hesitating for a while, she told Nino and the others that she wanted to go back and take a look, and then turned back to the gymnasium.

　　As soon as I entered the gymnasium, I realized that no one was there. I hadn't even finished tidying up yet, but Sawamura and Kento were nowhere to be seen.

　　So, I came to the storage room to check the situation.

　　As soon as she got close, she heard the voices inside. She wanted to eavesdrop, but the topic of "future" she heard made her feel that the topic of "future" was too deep. It was a bit beyond the scope of the topic that classmates usually talked about, right?

　　Subconsciously, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

　　The sudden knock on the door made the two people in the storage room hold their breath and remain silent. They stayed quietly in the storage room without making any sound.

　　Kento didn't know why he suddenly kept silent. He just felt that if he made a sound at this moment and Ichika came in and saw them, it might have a bad impact on his current situation with Eriri.

　　There was no way he could open his mouth and explain to Ichika that "I am spreading positive energy" under the current situation. Even if he really said that, Ichika probably wouldn't believe his nonsense.

　　As for Eriri, who was pressing Kento hard under her, she knew clearly that she was doing a bad thing. If Ichika saw it, it might cause some unexpected changes. She didn't dare to breathe loudly. She lowered her head and closed her eyes. Kento seemed to be lying flat. For a moment, her little fangs felt itchy and she just wanted to bite the man under her hard.

　　"Is anyone there? If not, I'll come in."

　　"...."

　　"Wait a minute, I'm inside, the door is locked, I'll come and open it."

　　Standing outside the door, Ichika Nakano glanced down at the door lock. She believed Kento's lies and stood quietly outside the door. She did not rush in. She did not want to see any exciting scenes.

　　She was just a young high school girl and couldn't stand that kind of stimulation.

　　Along with the rustling sounds in the room, footsteps were heard soon after, and then the door was opened. Kento, who was clean and his clothes were not messy, stood in front of her. Ichika felt a little relieved, and continued to look inside -

　　Eriri, who was also dressed neatly, walked slowly towards the door. Looking at Nakano Ichika who appeared in front of her, Eriri couldn't help but bite her lip with her little tiger teeth for disturbing her Nakano Ichika.

　　"What's going on, Nakano-san?"

　　"No, nothing. I just thought that if you two cleaned up, you might not have enough time, so I wanted to help. What were you two doing in there just now?"

　　"Nothing, I just put the basketball back. Since you're here, let's clean it up together. It's also good to go back to the classroom early."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Kento was the first to leave the storage room and went to the gymnasium to clean up. As for Eriri, she looked at Kento's back and her eyes fell on Ichika in front of her. Her expression was uncertain, but she still silently went to tidy up the gymnasium.

　　Looking at the two figures, Ichika felt more concerned in her heart. She watched Eriri gradually start to tidy up the venue, so she followed suit and helped to tidy up.

　　After wasting some time, the three of them cleaned up the gymnasium together and returned to the classroom just in time for class to start.

　　When they entered the classroom, they attracted a lot of attention. The gossipy expressions and gazes fell on the three of them, and they looked back and forth. Kento himself walked to the table silently and sat down quietly, not caring.

　　Ichika wasn't the type of person who would care about these details, so she walked back to her seat and sat down.

　　As for Eriri, she was a little bothered. Facing those gazes, she slowly returned to her seat, glanced in the direction of Kento, then slowly lowered her head and quietly waited for class to start.

　　A subtle atmosphere spread in the class, and everyone's eyes were focused on Kento and the two girls.

　　Even the teachers who came to teach had sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but because it was a private school, they didn't care that much about such matters. As long as it didn't cause any adverse effects, they basically turned a blind eye and no one would cause trouble for themselves.

　　It was not until the evening when school was over that Kento took the lead in picking up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom, while Ichika signaled with Nino and followed.

　　Eriri, on the other hand, didn't move. She just sat quietly in her seat, packing her schoolbag. Then, after the two had left for a while, she chose to go home with Hinami Aoi.

　　"Yo!"

　　When I was almost at the school gate, someone suddenly patted my shoulder hard. I didn't need to look back, I knew who the voice was just by listening to it. I didn't stop and continued to walk forward, but I also responded to the other person out loud.

　　"What's wrong, aren't you going home with your sisters?"

　　"I don't have anything to do when I get home, so are you free?"

　　Following Kento's footsteps, Ichika put her head in front of Kento and observed his expression.

　　"..."

　　Looking at the girl's expression, Kento was silent for a moment.

　　"I have some time, what's the matter?"

　　"Come with me to buy some things."

　　"where?"

　　"Shibuya, Sasazuka."

　　On the way home from school, Setsuna was with Sekai Saionji and Kotonoha Katsura. At Sekai Saionji's suggestion, the three of them went to the Saionji family's restaurant for dinner.

　　It was called a dinner party, but they just ordered a glass of juice and some French fries. The three girls sat together and chatted, did their homework, and went home when the time was almost up. This was how it developed. Most girls did the same, and Setsuna didn't have any special thoughts about it.

　　"The boys in school are really troublesome. Even though they know that Kotonoha doesn't like to interact with boys, they still come towards her."

　　Sekai Saionji couldn't help but sigh and complain about the boys in the school. Because of her cute appearance, Kotonoha always attracted some ungrateful boys who would actively approach Kotonoha. But because Kotonoha was afraid of boys, the task of driving away the boys basically fell on Sekai Saionji and Setsuna.

　　"Because Kotonoha is cute."

　　Setsuna took a sip of lemon tea and slowly glanced at Kotonoha's figure.

　　"She's in great shape too."

　　Although it was the truth, after hearing what Setsuna said, Gui Yanye couldn't help but blush and lowered her head shyly.

　　"No... that's not the case... I'm just an ordinary girl..."

　　"Well, although this aspect of your modesty is cute, it's too modest. I don't know why I feel a little hurt."

　　Saionji Sekai looked at Kotonoha and couldn't help but sigh. She covered her forehead with one hand and looked at Setsuna opposite her. Well... she felt a little better in her heart... no, she felt even more hurt.

　　It seemed that among the three of them, she was the only one who was a complete loser?

　　The quilt sealed me up, but I managed to crawl out, eat some food, and then update the new

The season when cherry blossoms bloom: 86. Do you want this fickle flower or this short-lived love?

　　For example, Kaede Kotonoha, although she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, she is cute, very popular in school, her family is very wealthy, and her grades when she entered school were also among the best. It can be said that she has a perfect image. Her shy personality is a problem, but perhaps it makes her even cuter in the eyes of boys, right?

　　Kiyoura Setsuna's figure is a little immature compared to Katsura Kotonoha and Saionji Sekai herself, but her grades are among the best in the class. She has successfully dated Kento and has become a couple with the boy he is interested in.

　　In comparison, she herself was neither good nor bad. She was not as good as Kaede Kotonoha, and she was not as gentle as Setsuna. She felt so tired.

　　Looking at Saionji Sekai who lowered his head with a sigh, and then lay on the table without saying a word, as if he had lost his breath, but blinked from time to time, Kiyoura Setsuna put down the lemon tea in his hand, slowly picked up the pen in front of him, and opened the homework.

　　"Won't you come and comfort me?"

　　Sekai Saionji slowly raised her head, looked at the girl opposite her, and blinked at Setsuna.

　　He took off the pen cap, closed his eyes when looking at the question, slowly raised his head and looked at Saionji Sekai's expectant expression.

　　"You are very cute. There will be a small test tomorrow. Finish your homework first, and then reply to the content of the test again."

　　"Ah...how perfunctory."

　　Saionji Sekai had no choice but to sit up and flip through her homework. She wanted to comfort Saionji Sekai Katsura, but she didn't know where to start. After struggling for a while, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Saionji Sekai, who had suddenly recovered her spirit.

　　He glanced at Qingpu Setsuna, not knowing what the relationship between the two was. He fell silent for a moment, lowered his head, and turned over his homework.

　　"She doesn't need to care too much about the world. That's her personality. Even if she gets depressed, she will quickly recover her energy."

　　While turning the pages, she heard a sound. Gui Yanye slowly raised her head and looked at the girl in surprise, but she saw that the girl had her head down, writing questions on the book with a pen, and she didn't look at her at all.

　　"I can hear you~ I can hear you~"

　　"Well, it's the truth anyway. I didn't say anything bad about you, right?"

　　"Even if you don't care, you'll still get hurt, so help me with the duty tomorrow!"

　　"don't want."

　　He quickly rejected it, not giving Saionji World any room, and Setsuna slowly raised his head and looked at the world opposite him.

　　"Absolutely not."

　　"Hmm…"

　　For a moment, Sekai Saionji was a little discouraged and lowered her head sullenly. She found the questions in front of her a little boring. However, Kotonoha Katsura, who was standing next to her, looked at the interaction between the two with some envy in her eyes. She slowly lowered her head and quietly started to do the questions.
